Ray Zate was the chief photographer at Fox Las Vegas before becoming a manager in the promotions department. He's worked in El Paso, Nashville and Atlanta, where he also had the opportunity to report as a one-man band.

Ray and I talk about how Fox 5 in Vegas approaches promos as real storytelling opportunities, why the 1-October tragedy changed his outlook on his career and how camping along the Mexican border with vigilantes became the work he's most proud of.
